I'm not really a big fan of white, but somehow, I have (3) of them.

My old 86.5 was repainted in Earlscheibweiß. It's much 'whiter' in color than my new 86.5, with good original paint. The GPW has some yellow in it.

Actually, there DOES seem to be variations in the Grand Prix White. We had a discussion about this a year or two back. Seems there are 3 GPW's that vary from a yellow tinge to bright white to gray. If you get the cars next to each other, you can tell the difference. I know the touch up paint I had purchased for my car from Porsche doesn't match.

Here is a good example of two GPW GTS's....

This is the car I was thinking of looking at. Could be the photo but it looks like a tri-tone caddy color to me.

Same one from Pelican correct? I wish he'd put a bit more info up on the car. Too bad he wants $7900 at a minimum.

It looks GOLD to me! Possibly a euro also, the 7900 is suspect!

I have a multiple GPW!!

Could be pearl white. In any case its ROW. Might be S but would really need VIN to tell for sure and engine number to know if it still has original type engine.

I couldn't find info on a factory pearl white in 1980. Can anyone verify if pearl was a factory color?

Anything was possible with paint to sample option. I have seen one ROW S which was that color from the factory but it could be few years younger than this one. Those black side protection things say this one is very likely '81 MY. That is if they are original.
